If you had been holed up in your home for nearly 24 hours with suspects running around your town with bombs and guns and people had been murdered. I'd be clapping the police- I know that, maybe all Americans are not clapping, but I understand why Bostonian's are, I'm surprised you don't!

ITS THE GODDAMM POLICE THAT HOLED THEM UP IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Do you think they all hole up every single time there is a murder in the city? Think, man!

If the police tell me to shelter in place because a crazy terrorist is lose in my neighborhood with bombs I don't have a problem with that. YOU need to think.

Well said. Don't forget a lot of these people were hearing the gunfire, the bombs, and the grenades ... Many of them taped what they could see out their windows, others tweeted and some even posted on GLP about what they were seeing and hearing....

Absolutely! One guy posted a pic on Twitter where bullets came through his wall. I would have been terrified. There was a couple interviewed earlier that said they just huddled together through the shooting. We've all listened to the scanner, but what you can't hear on the scanner is everything else going on. Those people were just as effected, even though their stories have still to come out.

People can be so cruel. Of course they're rejoicing and happy! Anyone making fun of that has a screw loose.
